Definitely seems to be an inexact science. My Dad was a weatherman in the Army in WW II and spent years in Miami and the US Virgin Islands. I remember as a kid talking with him about the different types of clouds and storm patterns.

Yeah, that one looks like it has some optional 'off-road' parts...front bull bar, roll bar, bigger tires, wheels..

Definitely reminiscent of this ERTL box. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/ertl-8023-scout-ii--587907

Yeah, that would be a no-brainer, esp with the similar Ford set out now.

Got this a few days ago for my birthday. Looks good, molded in dark green, tan and gray.

This one should be easy.. “Sooner or later you are going to have to face the fact that you’re a moron.”

Pulp Fiction

The E-Type convertible is out now, looks nice at first glance.

I recall an article in the last 10-15 years in Car & Driver or Automobile magazine that talked about his model collection and car collection. Fascinating guy, I love Rush and he is missed. Glad I got to see them once. I've read a couple of his books on his long distance motorcycle trips.

Years ago I built an AMT '53 Ford truck w/ a lot of the custom parts and painted a Model Master dark metallic gray, looked quite good IMO. Also used that gray on a Monogram '83 Mustang convertible (w/ red interior), and a Fujimi Mercedes 190...

Yeah. we've been fully vaccinated since early April. But taking it slow and easy to get back to 'normal'.

At some point, I will start going back to restaurants. I have started going back to the grocery, instead of getting groceries delivered. I still use DoorDash and Grubhub occasionally, but not as much as last year. I've had mixed experiences w/ Doordash---it seems in the last 6 months the number of mistakes I've had has gone up...not sure if it's with the restaurants or in how the order is communicated. I don't mind going out and picking up food in nice weather, but the delivery is great in the winter...

Looking forward to binging the 7th and final season of Bosch this weekend. I do watch a lot of UK content on Prime streaming channels (Brit Box, Acorns, PBS, etc), and a couple shows I've been watching recently are Doc Martin and another called Secret Gardens of England.... gardening/landscaping shows are very relaxing after a long day staring at computer screens...and Doc Martin is a neat little comedy drama with a 'big city doctor in small town fish out of water' premise, kind of reminds me of Northern Exposure...set in a beautiful Cornwall seaside village.

Two different cars...the car in Earl Marischal's post was identified in the post as a Lotus Europa. The customized Fiero is the black car in the US in the post by bill_rules.

Current: Bosch Better Call Saul Brooklyn Nine-Nine Line of Duty Unforgotten Yellowstone Last 20 years: The Bridge (original version) Breaking Bad The Wire The Sopranos Oldies: Miami Vice Twin Peaks The X-Files Rockford Files

Strangely customized Fiero.

The funny car wagon (Boss Nova) was reissued as a Model King release maybe 15 years ago, so that one presumably still exists.

That first hearse appears to be based on a Cadillac XTS (the one over the truck cab) and the two Lincoln ones are based on the Corsair looks like. With the XTS and CT6 out of production, wonder what Cadillac future hearses will be based off...maybe the XT6 or Escalade...

At the dealer for service on my Jeep this morning, and they had 3 Ram TRXes out front. One had a $99995 sticker, with a $13k ‘market adjustment’. Nice purple Challenger with Scat Pack package in the showroom. And in the service parking was a clean brown 80s LeBaron..haven’t seen one of those in ages. Appeared rust-free which in Cleveland is rare.

Got the new Revell VW T1 Kombi kit in the mail today from MegaHobby.

I'd assume by the price point this will be the full detail one in retro box art.

I suspect with the annual retooling back then, the ‘70 convertible is the only MPC ‘66-70 Bonneville left…

There is an an Ollies about a mile from me, haven't been in there since 2019..pickings were slim then.

Kinda did that here in NE Ohio. Been a hot, wet Spring. 90 in May is unseasonable, feels more like August. And there was snow just about a month ago...

That is what the Ranger is for (traditional BOF truck). This is a smaller light duty model.
